Chocolate Swiss Roll with Peanut Butter Filling

This month's We Should Cocoa challenge is set by Chele and it's to make a chocolate swiss roll/roulade. That's definitely a challenge for me as I've never made one before but I was happy to embrace the challenge especially since I missed out on the April challenge. As you probably already know, peanut butter is one of my favourite snacks and it pairs very well with chocolate so this month I present you with a chocolate swiss roll filled with a peanut butter cream. I overbaked the cake slightly but still managed to get it into a roll. The peanut butter filling is absolutely divine and I have actually been eating (small) bowfuls at a time - one for breakfast this morning!! I made a chocolate ganache to go on top of the cake to cover up the cracks but didn't have time to do any fancy decorations.

A fantastic roll, well done. Really liking the sound of that filling. Thanks for participating in the challenge. Chele's laptop has packed up, so I'm doing the round-up this month. Should be posting today or tomorrow.

I've had to turn word verification back on as I've had a lot of problem with spam lately, Apologies! Please, please do leave a comment - I appreciate every one of them and will reply to all of them. Thanks!

About Me

Hi! My name is Ros and I've discovered a new passion in life - baking! It's really fun trying new recipes and perfecting old ones. I love experimenting with different flavours and textures and am slowly getting better at cake decorating.
As of Feb 2016, I've started a new blog all about spiralizing called atwirlywhirly blog. This is completely different to my baking blog and I hope it will also appeal to my readers.
